Programming The Pxie-5163 - AW CP400Xl CP500Xl NI 5191 Manual

Compensated Correctly
Probe Adjustment Signal
Proper Amplitude of a
1 MHz Test Signal
Once compensated, the probe conveys signals to the input channel accurately, without
artificially attenuating or amplifying frequency components of the signal.
Tip
For the most accurate measurements:
• Compensate probes for each channel of the oscilloscope;
• Use a compensated probe only with the channel you used to compensate it; and
• Compensate your probes frequently.
